Nice haul, Bob. I suggest you look through those plants carefully and isolate them from your other plants for a few weeks or month if you can . Even plants from the best grower in your OS can harbor unwelcome hitchhikers.

Are you sure you've left room for the project plant and TC's? *G*

i definitely will! i know for a fact that once they were acquired by the man who managed the plants for the auction, they were sprayed 3 times with a strong insectiside. and i will isolate and spray them myself as well. just to be safe

you have quite a nice haul there Bobby

that Angraecum is really still a baby in a 7" pot and 12" by 12"...attached is a picture of how big that can grow in 20 years...4feet by 4 feet in a 10 gallon pot grown by Robert Johnstone from Ontario who won the orchid of the month sometime in 2006

WOW! thats the same one i saw on google actually! lol

this one may or may not live. barry gave it to me for free because it has a tiny bit of crown rot. so i cinnamonned it up and we shall see if it lives or not. i think the crown is too far gone, but it may through a keiki
